Outdoor ritual at a stone-stepped water tank. Five shaved-headed men in white dhotis with gold borders stand on the steps, hands folded, some holding papers; several wear rudraksha malas and bare upper bodies. A woman in a teal and white sari with a rudraksha mala stands among them holding papers. In the foreground, a figure seen from behind in orange robes and long matted hair sits facing the water, hands in mudra, and a microphone is on a stand. A tripod camera and a green sign reading Nithyananda TV LIVE are set up nearby, and a laptop sits on the steps. Other figures in orange and white stand in the background by the water.
